On any eventually regular semigroup S, congruences ν, μL, μR, μ, K, KL, KR, ζ are introduced which are the greatest congruences over: nil-extensions (n.e.) of completely simple semigroups, n.e. of left groups, n.e. of right groups, n.e. of groups, n.e. of rectangular bands, n.e. of left zero semigroups, n.e. of right zero semigroups, nil-semigroups, respectively. Each of these congruences is induced by a certain representation of S which is defined on an arbitrary semigroup. These congruences play an important role in the study of lattices of varieties, pseudovarieties and existence varieties. The investigation also leads to eight complete congruences U, Tt, Tr, T, K, Kl, Kr, Z on the congruence lattice Con (S) of S.

Completely Simple

Let S be a regular semigroup and be its congruence lattice. For ρ ∈ , we consider the sublattice Lρ of generated by the congruences pw where w ∈ {K, k, T, t}* and w has no subword of the form KT, TK, kt, tk. Here K, k, T, t are the operators on induced by the kernel and the trace relations on . We find explicitly the least lattice L whose homomorphic image is Lρ for all ρ ∈ and represent it as a distributive lattice in terms of generators and relations. We also consider special cases: bands of groups, E-unitary regular semigroups, completely simple semigroups, rectangular groups as well as varieties of completely regular semigroups.

Natural Way

We consider certain subsets of a semigroup S, defined mainly by conditions involving regularity preservation. In particular, the regular base B(S) of S may be regarded as a generalisation of the zero ideal in a semigroup with zero; if it non-empty then S is E-inversive. The other subsets considered are related in a natural way either to B(S) or to the set RP(S) of regularity-preserving elements in S. In a regular semigroup (equipped with the Hartwig-Nambooripad order) each of these subsets contains either minimal elements only or maximal elements only. The relationships between the subsets are discussed, and some characterisations of completely simple semigroups are obtained.

In [6] we announced the following Conjecture: Let S be a locally compact semigroup and let μ be an idempotent regular probability measure on S with support F. Then(a) F is a closed completely simple subsemigroup.(b) F is isomorphic both algebraically and topologically to a paragroup ([2], p.46) X × G × Y where X and Y are locally compact left-zero and right-zero semi-groups respectively and G is a compact group. In X × G × Y the topology is the product topology and the multiplication of any two elements is defined by , x where [y, x′] is continuous mapping from Y × X → G.(c) The induced μ on X × G × Y can be decomposed as a product measure μX × μG× μY where μX and μY are two regular probability measures on X and Y respectively and μG is the normed Haar measure on G.

SynopsisThe class CS of completely simple semigroups forms a variety under the operations of multiplication and inversion (x−1 being the inverse of x in its ℋ-class). We determine a Rees matrix representation of the CS-free product of an arbitrary family of completely simple semigroups and deduce a description of the free completely simple semigroups, whose existence was proved by McAlister in 1968 and whose structure was first given by Clifford in 1979. From this a description of the lattice of varieties of completely simple semigroups is given in terms of certain subgroups of a free group of countable rank. Whilst not providing a “list” of identities on completely simple semigroups it does enable us to deduce, for instance, the description of all varieties of completely simple semigroups with abelian subgroups given by Rasin in 1979. It also enables us to describe the maximal subgroups of the “free” idempotent-generated completely simple semigroups T(α, β) denned by Eberhart et al. in 1973 and to show in general the maximal subgroups of the “V-free” semigroups of this type (which we define) need not be free in any variety of groups.

AbstractWe consider several familiar varieties of completely regular semigroups such as groups and completely simple semigroups. For each of them, we characterize their members in terms of absence of certain kinds of subsemigroups, as well as absence of certain divisors, and in terms of a homomorphism of a concrete semigroup into the semigroup itself. For each of these varieties $ \mathcal{V} $ we determine minimal non-$ \mathcal{V} $ varieties, provide a basis for their identities, determine their join and give a basis for its identities. Most of this is complete; one of the items missing is a basis for identities for minimal nonlocal orthogroups. Three tables and a figure illustrate the results obtained.
